The origin of the phrase "an elephant never forgets" refers to observations that elephants follow the same paths, and even hand down genetic memories, of directions and places across generations. Each elephant clan has a certain burial place, and always help the dying ones get back there if they are not killed traumatically first.

We think elephants are pretty amazing. If you don't have the memory of an elephant, RememberItNow! can help.

What is eHealth?
eHealth is short for electronic health. The term is relatively new, introduced in 2000. eHealth refers to the use of computers and networks like the Internet to store and manage your medical records, instead of paper files. With ehealth, important information about your health is available when and where it's needed. eHealth is also sometimes called health information technology, which is not near as catchy a phrase.

The World Health Organization has spent considerable time defining what is meant by the term eHealth. "eHealth is the combined use of electronic communication and information technology in the health sector.' It refers to the health care components delivered, enabled or supported through the use of information and communications technology. It may involve clinical communications between healthcare providers such as online referrals, electronic prescribing and sharing of electronic health records. It can also provide access to information databases, knowledge resources and decision support tools to guide service delivery.

Telemedicine: includes all types of physical and psychological measurements that do not require a patient to travel to a specialist. When this service works, patients need to travel less to a specialist or conversely the specialist has a larger catchment area.

mHealth or m-Health: includes the use of mobile devices in collecting aggregate and patient level health data, providing healthcare information to practitioners, researchers, and patients, real-time monitoring of patient vitals, and direct provision of care (via mobile telemedicine).

Medical research uses eHealth Grids that provide powerful computing and data management capabilities to handle large amounts of heterogeneous data.

Healthcare Information Systems: also often refer to software solutions for appointment scheduling, patient data management, work schedule management and other administrative tasks surrounding health. Whether these tasks are part of eHealth depends on the chosen definition, they do, however, interface with most eHealth implementations due to the complex relationship between administration and healthcare at Health Care Providers.

A network of electronic health records will let your doctor access your health history quickly, no matter where you get treated. This could be very important, especially if there is an emergency. Electronic health records also reduce paperwork. They will all be kept together, even if you go to a different doctor's office, hospital, or clinic.

With eHealth, your Health Information is Easily Available
Through an electronic health record, your doctor will have access to your health history during a regular visit or during an emergency.
